1880ref. COL-3611880. Albumen prints 8. This rare group of photographs showing both rural and city Bolivian life was originally part of the Gardner Collection of photographs at Harvard University. In her article 'The Gardner Collection of Photographs' History of Photography Vol. 15 No. 1 Spring 1991 pp. 17-22 Heather Ross Munro articulates the formation and dissemination of the Gardner collection a substantial group of photos housed in the Geology Department of Harvard University that was initially funded in 1892 by Harvard graduate George Gardner. By 1916 the collection reached around 7500 landscape and geological photographs from around the world including a number of mammoth plate views by Carleton Watkins. But by the 1960s slides illustrated textbooks and field work supplanted the need for the collection. In 1962 the archive was offered to the George Eastman House in Rochester NY who selected 350 photos. Harvard kept around 1000 themselves mostly Massachusetts scenes and discarded the rest. This present group was acquired by the previous owner while studying as a geology student at Harvard in the 60s. He had been informed that the collection was getting tossed and saved what he could choosing these photographs because he "preferred the ones with people." .

1827ref. 39275Chuquisaca: Imprenta Boliviana May 30 1827. The First Bolivian Constitution The extremely rare second and last official edition of Bolivia's first constitution after the slightly less rare first edition of 1826. In 1825 Upper Peru became the final South American republic to secure its independence from Spain under the leadership of Simón Bolívar renaming itself Bolivia in his honor. Bolívar himself drafted this first constitution of the country in 1825 and handed power to Gen. Antonio José de Sucre as president for life. The constitution was accepted by the second Bolivian congress in 1826 and Sucre accepted his appointment but only for two years with the provision that two thousand Columbian troops should remain with him in La Paz. In late 1827 after repeated uprisings Sucre and his army were driven from the capital and the constitution was changed the following year. This second edition which bears a serious printer's error in the section on the president is especially scarce and not recorded by Palau. OCLC records the imprint but locates no copies. Gathered signatures stitched. Clerical ink inscription "763 G.R.M." in inner margin of titlepage. Minor light staining. Very good. Untrimmed. In a half morocco box.
